How does the anti lock braking system work?
The anti-lock braking system is designed to apply smooth application of brake fluid to engage the brake calipers and pads to slow your car without locking up the tires. The wheel speed sensor is responsible for relaying the wheel speed to the ECU so that it can tell the ABS system how much pressure to safely apply.
